IMService has released a new series of inexpensive servo motors and timing belt reducer drives. They are designed for "do it yourself" CNC conversions of small desktop machines such as Sherline, Taig and the many imported mills and lathes and also CNC routers. The motors and drives are available individually and also included in a new series of low cost CNC conversion kits.
The motors are rated at 1.75 amp 30 volts and 20 oz-in. Peak stall torque is 170 oz-in. With the belt reducers, the drives operate at 1000 rpm max, with rated torque of 60 oz-in and peak torque is around 500 oz-in. They have .25 dia, D-flat shafts, front and back, and 500 line HEDS encoders. The reducers bolt onto the same bolt pattern as a NEMA 23 stepper motor. The motors are optimized to work with the DeskCNC, step and direction driven servo driver cards, but will work with other servo drivers as well.
A new power supply kit is also available with a 160 VA torroidal transformer and major components for a 28vdc supply.

The systems will be on display at the Iron Fever exhibition from August 13-15, 2004.
